[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-376?page=comments#action_12361636 ]
Ralf Hauser commented on JAMES-376: ----------------------------------- what is "ristretto"? Anyway,, let me describe in more detail how I ran into the problem: In a UTF-8 web-application, I let my james-users choose their passwords and store them in a mysql DB. James then retrieves them from the mysql and attempts to validate them with what it gets from the MUA. Perhaps, me converting the UTF-8 from the DB back into ISO-8859-1 before comparison would have solved the problem, at least as long as the users only choose passwords with characters existing in ISO-8859-1 ? > encoding pop input as "ASCII" causes problems with passwords that are 8-bit > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: JAMES-376 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-376 > Project: James > Type: Bug > Components: POP3Server > Versions: 2.2.0 > Environment: Linux > Reporter: Ralf Hauser > > it appears that new Outlook allows for 8 bit instead of the ascii, so if a > password containing a "ΓΌ" or other Umlaut is used, there may be problems. > org.apache.james.pop3server.POP3Handler.handleConnection(Socket connection) > determines the encoding. > It doesn't appear that base64 or alike as in > http://james.apache.org/rfclist/pop3/rfc1734.txt is used. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
